Bridgewater police responded to a report of a camouflaged, bazooka-wielding man and instead found a landscaper carrying a leaf blower, according to officials.

“You’re better off calling and reporting something than ignoring it and having it be something worse.”

Dear reporters,
If’n you’re gunna run a hit piece…it would behoove you not to use honour, Integrity and reverance as your cars paw for the audience.
It comes off as hilariously disingenuous. We the audience, remember you glorifying the import and beauty of the piss Christ, so you can just f right off.

Now an honest critique would draw upon an understanding of taste, construction, economy, and maybe even a test of the political tolerance for the structure.

The arch fails on every level, up to, but most certainly including the satanic liberty visage of Nike atop this literal pile of poop.

Less gaudy concrete, more fix the price of tomatoes you assholes.

Tomatoes are very easy to grow and there’s nothing like the taste of homegrown tomatoes. I never buy them in the grocery store anymore because those have no taste. I would send you some if I could, but I don’t think they’d make it all the way to Canada!

Far-left Southern Poverty Law Center reimbursed Klan members for cross-burnings: feds:

The Southern Poverty Law Center paid reluctant white nationalists and Ku Klux Klan members thousands of dollars in donor money to remain in the notorious hate groups — even making them whole for money spent on cross-burnings, the Justice Department alleged in a stunning superseding indictment filed Tuesday.

The feds initially charged the once-venerable civil rights organization in April with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a bank, and money laundering conspiracy. Tuesday’s superseding indictment, filed in Montgomery, Ala., federal court, lays out some of the stories of informants who were paid in money the SPLC raised from donors on the pretext of “exposing hate and injustice” and “fighting discrimination.”

Two Klan members, identified only as F-31 and F-32, came to the SPLC in 2010 in fear for their safety and wanting to leave the hate group, the indictment alleges. Instead of helping them find a way out, prosecutors say, the pair were paid $1,200 per month, plus expenses, via a shell corporation called Rare Books Warehouse to remain in the Klan.

President Donald Trump confirmed what many already believed about the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol Building.

During a Wednesday interview with the New York Post’s Miranda Devine, Trump affirmed that federal informants infiltrated the crowd that showed up to hear him speak and helped to incite violence at the Capitol building. “Just so you understand, these are people that have been decimated,” he said, referring to those who were railroaded over Jan. 6. “These are people that lost their lives over nonsense, where the FBI said, ‘go in, go in, police, go in, go into the van.’”

He continued, noting that many of the defendants “were supposed to serve five years, 10 years in jail” and that “people committed suicide.” “These were many great people,” Trump said. “And I gave them pardons. I’m very proud to have given them pardons. And I think they should be reimbursed for a crooked government.”

There were HUNDREDS of people from several different federal agencies stirring things up on J5 and J6. There were also a couple of hundred ANTIFA there. There was also a lot of plotting for months before. It doesn’t seem that the full truth about anything that day or before or after will ever come out despite the existence of video evidence that proves some of what happened. People who did nothing wrong were sentenced to 20 years in prison. Most were not allowed access to video evidence and other evidence that proved their innocence. The judges, lawyers, and juries were corrupt. The cases should have been thrown out because of the Brady violations. Barry Loudermilk, the chair of the committee that’s supposed to show the truth about J6, refused to meet with a few of the J6ers and their advocates who had hoped to give him a lot of information. Loudermilk and most people in Congress don’t want to know the truth. I am grateful that President Trump took the advice of Charlie Kirk and Julie Kelly in pardoning the J6ers. I hope that he will soon pardon the rest of them and that he will remove the terrorist code that was put into the system for many of them, including veterans who don’t have access to the VA until that code is removed. Many of the J6ers have lost their homes, their cars, their families, their jobs (and many of them cannot get jobs because of the lies that turn up on a Google search), and their life savings. I wish that someone could clearly explain the truth about everything that was done to so many innocent people who did nothing wrong and that the truth could reach everyone, but I realize that this isn’t going to happen.

Scott Pelley has no idea how much viewers (even libs) are annoyed by him — Tears are flowing from Pelley camp.

I wonder….how many people out there might be like me; never having ever heard of this fellow before.
I’m not being facetious or sarcastic (this time).
I don’t watch tv, and when I did, I haven’t watched network news since Regan’s second election night win………so, I truly have no idea who this guy is.
He said he fought in Afghanistan….did I read that right? Was he riding the.munigun with his buddy Brian when he got shot down?

These folks who read the news to folks….I guess I find it kinda shocking that they actually believe people out there give a whoot about them and what they have to say.

I’d hope that the Trump administration can employ the same “Sue and Settle” process as past democrat administrations have employed for decades… I’m not sure why they haven’t;t done this already. There must be a reason, as I think the strategy is fairly obvious.

“Opposition leader Cheng Li-wun is continuing to spark controversy during her US tour. She suggested she would not be taken seriously by Washington if she did not first obtained the full trust of China’s leader Xi Jinping. Furthermore, her entourage includes Vivi Chin, a KMT member who is a mainland Chinese spouse. Reports say Chin both works for China’s United Front Department and is financially backing Cheng’s trip. ”

‘Reverse Okies’ and Blue State Refugees — Another Wave Appears To Be Building
https://spectator.org/reverse-okies-and-blue-state-refugees-another-wave-appears-to-be-building/

‘When the Okies left Oklahoma and moved to California, it raised the I.Q. of both states.’
Will Rogers

Looks like the IQ of Cali and Oklahoma will both drop if this is true.

Sir Rants-A-Lot
Sir Rants-A-Lot

Good morning, fellow native Missourian! This article is spot-on. Californians moving to Oklahoma will only push the Sooner State even further right, just as they have done in Idaho, and particularly North Idaho where I live after having lived in the Iron Pyrite State for 32 years (I left Missouri 40 years ago). In Kootenai County (Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls), registered GOPs outnumber registered Dems by a nearly 8 to 1 margin. In Boundary County which borders Canada, GOPs outnumber Dems by an over 17 to 1 ratio: https://voteidaho.gov/data-and-dashboards/voter-registration-totals/

If CA political refugees cause the collective IQ of Oklahoma to drop, it will only be very temporary and mild. But I am very Eeyore-ish about the prospects of Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt in November. The state cannot be fixed, and I pray I’m completely wrong.

it’s very rare that a candidate like Spencer Pratt comes along. Perhaps with his wild support, there will be some powerful people that help move the needle into the “free and fair” direction.

If there’s ever a chance to blow this open – this is the time.
